  • the unit includes planting position preparation means 16 adapted to create a furrow into which seedlings are sequentially dropped, the earth being returned around the seedlings by suitable press wheels or the like 17.
  • the guide track 12 further includes an outfeed section 18 along which the emptied cell chain seedling support elements travel to a collection zone 19.
  • a cell chain indexing and locking mechanism 20 is provided downstream of the transfer mechanism 14, however, it should also be appreciated that the mechanism 20 could be located upstream of the transfer mechanism 14.
  • the seedlings to be planted out are grown in a chain of individual support receptacles known as cells.
  • the type of arrangement of cells illustrated in co-pending application No. 54924/86 is particularly adapted for use in this planting machine, however any other hinged cell or support arrangement might also be used.
  • the hinged cell chain is located in an arrangement whereby the cells are closely adjacent one another. In this condition they may be supported in a tray (not illustrated) having a surrounding frame with a planar bottom loosely supported on the surrounding frame.
  • the seedling receiving zone II includes an island platform corresponding roughly to the shape of the planar tray bottom whereby when the tray is located in the zone II, the supporting frame of the tray drops below the level of the island platform to allow the cell chain to be fed directly into the guide track 12.

  • the member 22 redirects the cell chain into the delivery guide track 13 leading past the transfer mechanism 14 better illustrated in figure 3.
  • the transfer mechanism includes an infeed baffle arrangement 23 having upwardly sloping forward faces 24 adapted to lift foliage of seedlings upwardly away from the stem or stalk region thereof.
  • This upward lifting of foliage might be assisted by suitably placed upwardly directed air jets supplied with air from the pressurised air source or from the exhaust from the pneumatic cylinders used in operation of the machine.
  • the lateral width of the channel defined by the baffle arrangement 23 may also be progressively narrowed to minimise the tendency of foliage dropping around the stalks.
  • Suitable windows 25 are provided in the baffle arrangement 23 to enable any suitable detection means 26 such as an optical sensor to determine whether or not a seedling stem or stalk has passed the detection zone.
  • the detection means 26 is therefore provided to sense that a suitable seedling exists in the relevant cell and to establish a signal therefrom to control both the cell chain indexing and locking mechanism 20 and the seedling transfer mechanism 14. In this manner it is possible to establish an even spacing of seedlings delivered from the transfer mechanism 14 to the handling and transport mechanism 15. Cells not containing any seedlings are indexed passed the transfer mechanism to be emptied as explained hereinafter.

  • a pusher member 39 is located in the seedling feed track 38 and is operated by an air cylinder 48.
  • the pusher member 39 has an angled forward face 40 adapted to counteract the tendency of seedlings to • topple backwardly when being pushed along the track 38 at relatively high speed. It may in some instances be desirable to include an upstanding net arrangement from the pusher member 39 to support seedling foliage, particularly when taller seedling plants are being handled.
  • the cell chain 21 passes generally between and below the stationary guide 26 and the chute 37 and is supported on a stationary platform 41.
  • Stationary open side supporting guide/bars 42 are provided to ensure that any soil, sand or grit particles escaping from the cell chain does not build up in the cell chain track.
  • Located beneath the platform 41 are a pair of air cylinders 43 and 44.
  • the cylinder 43 includes a pusher rod movable upwardly through an opening 45 in the platform 41, though the drainage openings in the cell chain to eject a seedling together with its plug of propagating medium upwardly from the cell chain.
  • the air cylinder 44 is similar configured and disposed but is arranged to eject propagating medium plugs which have been sensed to not include a suitable seedling for transplanting. These plugs are ejected upwardly to strike a deflector plate 46 to be deposited to one side of the guide track 13.
  • a seedling having been sensed to be of suitable size is positioned in the guide track 13 between the guide 26 and the chute 37.
  • Plant spacing may be regulated by a pulse generator and sensor located at land engaging wheels such as the press wheels 17. Alternatively a separate land wheel (not illustrated) may be employed to which the pulse generator is connected.
  • the pulse generator creates pulses in response to movement of the wheels 17 (or other land wheel) over the ground.
  • a counter counts these pulses and at a predetermined set number sensed, commences operation of the transfer mechanism 14. Varying the number of counts sensed enables variation of the spacing between seedlings transferred by the mechanism 14 and therefore also between seedlings planted.
  • the indexing mechanism simply moves the cell chain quickly enough to ensure that a seedling is always correctly positioned prior to operation of the mechanism 14.
  • the shroud 30 is first moved across the guide track
  • the air cylinder 43 is operated to eject the seedling upwardly. Upward movement is limited by an overlying flange 47 of the shroud 30.
  • the pusher member 29 is then activated to push the seedling sideways into the chute 37 and thereafter into the feed track 39 leading to the handling and transport mechanism 15.
  • the air cylinder 48 effects movement of the seedlings along the track 38.
  • a cell chain indexing, centering and locking mechanism is provided for both moving the cell chain as desired and for centering and locking the cell chain in the correct position when a seedling is transferred.
  • the indexing mechanism 49 comprises a double acting air cylinder 50 adapted to move a ratchet type push member 51 to and fro relative to the guide track 13.
  • Springs 52 are provided to urge the push member 51 downwardly. Movement to the left in Figure 5 of the push member 51 indexes the chain along the guide track 13. Movement to the right enables the ramp sections of the pusher member to side over the cell chain walls to resume a position ready for a further indexing movement.
  • the centering and locking mechanism 53 includes an actuating air cylinder 54 and a block member 55 moved thereby.
  • the block member 55 includes two triangular shaped lugs 56, 57, the angular wall sections of which are adapted to engage opposed walls of two adjacent cells.
  • the ramp or angular walls locate the cell chain and allow for minor adjustment of the cell chain forwardly or rearwardly thereafter locking the cell chain in position when a seedling is about to be transferred.
  • the handling and transport mechanism 15 essentially comprises a pair of upper discs 60 and a pair of lower discs 61. These discs are conveniently made from thin flexible and resilient stainless steel, however other materials could also be used. Both pairs of discs 60, 61 are rotatably support on shafts 62, 63 common to each pair. The upper pair of discs 60 are supported on a frame 64 adapted to moved longitudinally relative to the main unit frame 65 by a suitable screw mechanism 66 (or any other suitable actuating mechanism) .
  • This mechanism allows limited adjustment of the spacing between the upper and lower discs 60, 61 which enables the position at which the lower discs 61 grip the seedlings to be varied to vary the depth of planting of the seedlings as might be desired.
  • a pair of ground contacting press wheels 17 are provided rotatably supported on axes 67 slightly below and rearwardly of the lower disc shaft 63. These press wheels press soil back around planted seedlings once the have been planted by the mechanism 15.
  • the press wheels 17 also provide a source of rotation for driving the disc pairs 60 and 61.
  • a belt 68 drives the lower discs 61 in response to rotation of the press wheels 17 at a peripheral speed substantially identical to the speed of travel of the unit over the ground such that there is no differential of speed between plants deposited from the discs 61 and the ground itself.
  • a second belt drive 69 passes from a pulley on the shaft 63 over a pulley 70 on shaft 62, through a pair of pulleys 71, 72 on either end of a pivotted link 73 and back to the pulley on shaft 63.
  • the link 73 is pivotted at an ⁇ intermediate position 74 along its length to a stationary section of the main frame 65.
  • a rigid link 75 interconnects the shaft of the upper pulley 71 on link 73 with the shaft 62 of the upper discs 60. In this manner longitudinal movement of the discs 60 can be effected by the screw element 66 without substantially stretching the belt 69.
  • rollers 76 Arranged around the upper section of the discs 60 on both outer surfaces thereof are stationary pressure rollers 76, the rollers being located from about top dead - centre position to about the closest point of approach of the lower discs 61.
  • the rollers 76 are adapted to urge the discs 60 together over the region between the first and last of these rollers.
  • FIG 1 the two upper discs 60 pass around the feed track 38 leading from the transfer mechanism 14.
  • An inner spreading roller 77 is located immediately before the track 38 to allow the discs
  • seedlings 78 are carried by their root sections in the upper discs 60 and are transported thereby downwardly towards the second lower pair of discs 61. As they approach the discs 61 the foliage section of the seedlings enters between the discs 61 while still being carried by the roots in the upper discs 60. It may also be useful to provide stationary guides (not illustrated), in this region to help guide the foliage into the lower discs 61 to help overcome difficulties that might be occasioned by bent stalks or stems on the seedlings. Consequently on further movement the seedlings are progressively more firmly gripped by the foliage in the lower discs 61 and a lower spreader roller 77 spreads the upper discs 60 apart releasing the root regions therefrom.
  • the seedlings are thereafter held solely by the lower discs 61 and are transported to about bottom dead centre position where the lower discs have spread apart sufficiently to allow the seedlings 78 to drop into a planting position (best seen in figures 6 & 7).
  • the machine further comprises means for preparing a planting position to receive seedlings.
  • This may comprise a plough element 79 with trailing upright spaced guide plates 80, 81 acting as a guide to receive the root sections of plants depending from the periphery of the discs 61. If necessary it may also incorporate disc plough elements to assist in the formation of the planting furrow.
  • the plough element 79 may include suitable adjusting mechanisms 83 to vary either the height/depth of the element or the spacing relative to the lower discs 61. It may be desirable to include, in some instances, cushioning material on the inner surfaces of the respective discs 60, 61 to protect the root and foliage sections of the plants. This, however, is not considered to be necessary in most circumstances.
  • the machine arrangement is also suitably arranged such that the transfer mechanism 14 and the indexing mechanism 15 are easily removed to be replaced either for servicing or simply to use a different sized cell chain. Similarly the plough shoe 79 may be replaced for servicing or sharpening.
  • the flow arrangement of the cell chain illustrated is not essential.
  • the infeed and outfeed zones for the cell chain may be at the forward end of the unit 10 rather than the rear end as illustrated. In this manner, when two rows of planting units 10 are being drawn, the infeed and outfeed zones of both rows can be arranged close to one another to minimize movement distances for the operator.
